If you ask most casual film fans when sound came to the movies,they'd say in 1927 with the release of The Jazz Singer.&nbsp;While that is when they became popular, various companies werelooking to add sound to movies for years.&nbsp; The earliest filmsthat were created with synchronized sound for public consumptionwere released way back in 1913 under the Kinetophone label.&nbsp; Itwas a sound-on-cylinder system created by the Thomas Edison'scompany, and one of the reasons that it didn't catch on inpopularity was that it didn't really work.&nbsp; The sound andvisuals would often go out of synch and once that happened it washard to get them back together.&nbsp; Now, thanks to moderntechnology, the Library of Congress in association with the museumof the Thomas Edison National Historic Park has been able to matchup the audio and video to the eight survi...Read the entire review

One of my absolute favorite compilations of silent film shorts isUndercrank Productions disc TheMarcel Perez Collection. An amazing and totally forgottensilent clown, Perez made hilarious films that were also creative andtechnically innovative.

When people think of silent comedians, Charlie Chaplin, or possiblyBuster Keaton, leap to mind. Before either of those star becamefamous however, John Bunny was drawing in audiences with theone-reelers he was making at Vitagraph. Now largely forgotten, evenamong silent film fans, this important actor from the early days ofcinema gets some attention in John Bunny: Film's First King ofComedy. This short (41 minutes) documentary looks at thecomedian who was billed as "the man who makes more than thepresident" and made over 150 films during his five-year career.

John Bunny came from a sea-faring family. His father and grandfatherwere both mariners and his mother advised him not to go to sea...until he was 21 years old. But breaking with tradition Bunny went tothe theater. Based in New York, John played the circuit as part of aminstrel show and took smaller roles in pl...Read the entire review

Talented silent actress Marion Davies is best known (when peoplerecognize her name) not for her movies, but for being the mistressof newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. And of those who doknow of her, many of them probably think of the shrill andtalentless Susan Alexander, a role based on Davies in Orson Welles'Citizen Kane. Unfortunately, Welles did a huge disservice toDavies in his masterpiece (something he admitted in later years) andthe truth is that Marion Davies is a very talented actress and awonderful comedienne. Hearst did back many of her movies and gaveDavies an incredible amount of publicity in his newspapers.

Movie serials were a staple of movie matinees in the 30's and 40's,but they were incredibly popular in the silent era too.Unfortunately, there are few chapterplays from the 1910's and 20'sthat still exist in complete form. That's why it's so exciting thatSprocket Vault has unearthed, restored, and released a complete 10chapter serial from 1928: The Mysterious Airman.

When it comes to early animation, The Bray Studios are the mostinfluential and innovative production company that you've neverheard of. Not only did the studio create ways of streamlining theanimation process that cut costs drastically, but it also was thehome, if only temporarily, to such animation luminaries as MaxFleischer (Betty Boop, Popeye, and Superman (1940s)), Paul Terry(Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle), and Walter Lantz (WoodyWoodpecker). Cartoons on Film has now released a magnificentcollection of this studio's output on Blu-ray and DVD. Entitled CartoonRoots: The Bray Studios this set of films is a wonderfulintroduction to the studio and their films.

Is it a serial, or isn't it? That's the question that has often beendebated about the 1953 Republic multi-episode adventure CommandoCody: Sky Marshal of the Universe. It was intended to be a TVshow (and it was broadcast in 1955) but contractual obligations madethe studio release it as a 12-part serial, even though there are notcliffhangers at the end of each chapter. There is a single plotrunning through all of the installments (well... about as much of aplot as they fit into traditional serials), there is somecontinuity, just like a normal chapter play, and the hero did starin earlier serials, albeit with a different name in one of them. Butit pretty much feels like a TV show. Now fans can judge forthemselves after watching the whole run on a beautiful lookingBlu-ray set, thanks to Olive Films.

The Show:

While movies based on DC Comics characters haven't been getting thecritical or popular acclaim, in general, that was hoped, on thesmall screen they're really coming alive. Arrow is a bigsuccess and so is The Flash which is starting its thirdseason in a little over a month. This super-hero universe getsfleshed out even more with the newest show DC's Legends ofTomorrow, an ensemble project that looks great on paper: asuperhero group created largely of DC heroes that were firstintroduced in Arrow and The Flash played by actorwho made their names on other popular TV shows (including DoctorWho and Prison Break), traveling through time andfighting an immortal tyrant. It sounds great! And while the visualstyle is good, this first season is marred by poor scripts and someaverage acting.

In the mid 1980's there was a wave of 3D movies released in anattempt to combat people staying at home watching movies on theirnew VCRs. Most of them were pretty awful, including Jaws 3-D,Amityville 3-D, and Parasite. Along with this wavecame the awkwardly titled subject of this review: Metalstorm:The Destruction of Jared-Syn. It follows the trend of being apretty cheesy 80's flick whose main attraction is the use of 3D, andsurprisingly the effects are actually pretty good. Being a fan ofshlocky 80's films, I'm excited about this release. I was doubtfulthat this movie would ever be released with its original aspectratio preserved (the only other DVD release was a pan and scanmonstrosity) and never thought it would make it to Blu-ray.

Somerset Maugham's short story Miss Thompson has made it tothe big screen several times. The first was in 1928's SadieThompson starring Gloria Swanson, and it was remade as Rainin 1932 and had Joan Crawford in the leading role. For the 1953version entitled Miss Sadie Thompson, Columbia cast RitaHayworth in the title role and they couldn't have picked a betterstar. Though the story is watered down due to the Hays Commissionrules, Hayworth really shines in this version. Originally releasedin 3D (for all of two weeks before it was pulled and only the flatversion was shown theatrically after that) Twilight Time has put outa beautiful edition of the 3D version as well as the 2D variety onone disc.

Shout! Factory continues their release of IMAX films on 4K Blu-raydiscs with Humpback Whales and fascinating look at thegentle giants of the sea. More than just footage of thesecreatures swimming through the water, this documentary presents alot of information on the whales and relates it in a fun andentertaining manner.

This documentary starts out giving a brief history of humpbackwhales, how absolutely enormous they are and how they were heavilyhunted until relatively recently. Narrator Ewan McGregor thengoes on to explain how these whales have made a comeback in recentyears and how scientists are continuing to learn a lot about theseaquatic mammals.

One area of film history that is rarely discussed is the 'racefilms' that were written, directed, produced, and starred people ofcolor and were intended to be seen, not in the big movie palaces,but is small cinemas that served a largely black clientele. Beingall but banned from a film career with the big Hollywood studios dueto the color of their skin, a small but important group of peoplestarted making films on their own telling their own stories.Independent productions with miniscule budgets these movies werelargely ignored after their brief theatrical run and largelyforgotten. Even books on the history of American movies outside ofthe studio system rarely mention these films and if they do it isoften no more than a page or two.

I remember watching the 1988 Olympics and the media's completecoverage of Eddie Edwards, the first ski jumper from Britain tocompete in the international sporting event in decades.&nbsp; Hecame in dead last, by a lot, and I always thought that hisappearance was the equivalent of a prank good harmless fun but notmeant to be taken seriously.&nbsp; It turns out there's a bit moreto the story (but, granted, not a lot more) which is related in thebiopic of the famous jumper Eddie the Eagle.&nbsp; As with manyHollywood sports films based on true events, this is a fun butlightweight movie that hits all of the numbers that one wouldexpect.

The third film in the Divergent Series has just arrived onhome video and no, it has nothing to do with calculus I'm happy toreport. Following the further adventures of plucky Tris and herhunky boyfriend Four in a post-apocalyptic world, The DivergentSeries: Allegiant is based on the last book in the youngadult trilogy penned by Veronica Roth. As with other teen bookseries that have been brought to the screen (Harry Potter, Twilight,Hunger Games) the producers decided to break the final bookinto two movies, so this is only the first part of the conclusion. Ienjoyed the first film (The Divergent Series) and thought thesecond one (The Divergent Series: Insurgent) was flawed butokay. Unfortunately this third movie continues the downward trendand is the weakest in the series so far.

The Marvel comic character Deadpool made his big screen debut in X-MenOrigins: Wolverine back in 2009, and this appearance made fanscollectively shout WTF! In his first appearance, the wise-cracking,ultraviolent, politically incorrect antihero had his mouth sewn shutfor the entire movie, removing his defining characteristic: theinsane, yet funny gibberish that he constantly spouts. It would belike portraying Spider-Man without his webs or Superman without hissense of justice. (Okay, they did the last one in Batman V.Superman, and we all know how that turned out.) Luckily theyrebooted the character and started anew and the result is prettyawesome. In his self-titles movie, Deadpool is just a wicked, funny,and off the wall as his best comic appearances and that makes for ahell of a film.
